“I was parking my bike, when Pramila [sister-in-law] came out with a knife all of a sudden and picked up a fight with me for approaching the police. Soon, her husband and her daughter too joined in. They pulled me, harassed me and stabbed me with the knife on my face. They removed my clothes while their daughter hit me on my head with a stone. My brother-in-law Satish removed my T-shirt and I couldn’t escape till my brother returned home,” the victim was quoted as saying in the news report.

The victim alleged that her daughter was also hit by their daughter for recording the incident on phone.

The victim later rushed to the Banaswadi police station, seeking protection. She filed a formal complaint against the accused for harassing her and her children. Meanwhile, Satish has been detained by the Banaswadi police.
